Cover profile for floors

Abstract

A cover profile ( 1 ) for floors for adaptation to different applications is described, having at least one cover flange ( 10 ), having a fastening attachment ( 9 ), which divides the cover flange ( 10 ) into two legs ( 12, 13 ), on the bottom side of the cover flange ( 10 ), and having at least one bending groove ( 14 ), which is parallel to the profile axis, on the bottom side of at least one of the legs ( 12, 13 ), which are preferably of different widths. In order to provide advantageous design conditions, it is proposed that the cover flange ( 10 ) carry a coating ( 11 ), which forms a film hinge ( 16 ), on its outer side opposite to the fastening attachment ( 9 ) in the area of the bending groove ( 14 ), and the two leg sections on both sides of the bending groove ( 14 ) be supported against one another by a hinge block ( 19 ).

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A cover profile for floors having a cover flange, having at least one fastening attachment, which divides the cover flange into two legs, on the bottom side of the cover flange, and having at least one bending groove parallel to a profile axis on the bottom side of at least one of the legs of the cover flange, wherein the cover flange carries a coating, which forms a film hinge, on an outer side of the cover flange opposite to the fastening attachment in the area of the bending groove, and the two leg sections on both sides of the bending groove are supported against one another by a releasable hinge block. 
     
     
       2. The cover profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the hinge block is implemented as an insert which fills up the bending groove at least in longitudinal sections. 
     
     
       3. The cover profile according to  claim 2 , wherein the insert has a profile which engages in a formfitting manner in the bending groove. 
     
     
       4. The cover profile according to  claim 2 , wherein the insert comprises an adhesive bead. 
     
     
       5. The cover profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the hinge block comprises at least one clamp, which engages at least in a detent recess in one of the leg sections. 
     
     
       6. The cover profile according to  claim 5 , wherein the clamp has an intended bending line for adaptation to the buckled position of the leg sections of the cover flange separated from one another by the bending groove. 
     
     
       7. The cover profile according to  claim 6 , wherein the clamp fastened on the leg section having the fastening attachment forms an attachment profile with the fastening attachment for the cover flange. 
     
     
       8. The cover profile according to  claim 5 , wherein the clamp for fixing the buckled position forms a part of the hinge block connected via an intended breakpoint to the remaining section of the clamp for this hinge block. 
     
     
       9. The cover profile according to  claim 7 , wherein the attachment profile bent over along the intended bending line, in the buckled position of the leg sections, forms a clamp which engages in a detent recess of the edge-side leg section in relation to the cover flange for fixing the buckled leg section. 
     
     
       10. The cover profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the bending groove in the leg of the cover flange has two groove flanks which form a bending stop at a wedge angle, which corresponds to the buckling angle between the two leg sections which are buckled toward one another. 
     
     
       11. The cover profile according to  claim 10 , wherein the groove flanks which abut one another upon buckling of the leg sections are connectable to one another by an adhesive seam. 
     
     
       12. The cover profile according to  claim 10 , wherein the two leg sections buckled toward one another are fixable in the buckled position with the aid of at least one clamp which engages at least in one detent recess in one of the leg sections. 
     
     
       13. The cover profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the edge-side leg section in relation to the bending groove, upon use of the cover profile as a baseboard, is supported by at least one web of a mount for the cover profile in a spread-open position. 
     
     
       14. The cover profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the coating of the cover flange forming the film hinge can be cut through. 
     
     
       15. The cover profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover flange is placed with the aid of the fastening attachment on laterally-ribbed dowel pins, whose heads, which form joint sockets or joint axes, cooperate with the fastening attachment implemented as a joint axis or joint socket. 
     
     
       16. The cover profile according to  claim 15 , wherein the dowel pins have flattened areas on diametrically opposing sides and are insertable into a U-shaped fastening rail using these flattened areas. 
     
     
       17. The cover profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover profile is glued on a mount with the aid of at least one adhesive bead, which forms the fastening attachment on the bottom side of the cover flange.
